In the final quarter, Guo Xu and Joe Johnson rested, and the King, who was unwilling to give up the game, quickly replaced center Divac.

The "Ghost Hand" finally performed, passing the ball and singles led the team to score consecutively. Alstom did a bad job in defensive defense, and suffered a big loss. The gap between the two sides quickly narrowed to 10 points.

Jackson can break through and shoot, but he is not a vegetarian on the offensive end. Alstom can break through but not shoot, and his passing awareness is average. His defensive ability is not qualified in point guard at present.

The coaching staff wanted to train Jacques Bson, but the Suns' substitute lost those who could lead the offense. Marion's weakness was also revealed, and he shot continuously with the ball.

Marion must partner with the star point guard to perform, which is why Marion was later sent away by the Suns and replaced O'Neal who was declining. The management felt that he was not worthy of a super high salary.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Marion could not even average 15 points per game after leaving the Suns. When he was on the Mavericks, he actually had better off with the ball and attacked. He practiced a back-to-play throwing move, which made it difficult for his opponent to block.

As long as Joe Johnson does not leave the Suns, Marion will become the fourth leader for a while. Guo Xu made a decision when he joined the team. In 2005, he said that the team had to renew Joe Johnson's contract, and it was impossible for him to let him go in vain like he did in his previous life.

In his previous life, the Suns boss was resentful of not leaving Joe Johnson back then and regretted it very much. Because the amount of contract renewal proposed by the Suns is not much different from Joe Johnson's request, the average difference is only $830,000 per season.

Joe Johnson finally signed and joined the Hawks because he felt that the Suns were trying to lower their market value, rather than he wanted to be the boss of a team. Of course, it also has something to do with money. The Hawks offered a contract worth $70 million, a figure of $20 million higher than the renewal amount offered by the Suns nine months ago.

In his last season with the Suns, Johnson averaged 17.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 1 steal per game, shooting 46.1% from the field and 47.8% from three-point shooting.

Even if he is 70 million in five years, it is not very good for Joe Johnson. He was selected into the All-Star seven times and averaged 20.2 points, 4.1 rebounds, 6.5 assists and 1.3 steals per game in his first season as the Hawks.

Moreover, Joe Johnson is very selfless. With privileges, he played 41.4 minutes in his peak season and averaged only 20 shots per game. This was the only time he made 20+ shots in his career. That year, he averaged 25 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game.

Guo Xu felt that as long as Joe Johnson stayed, it would be like an enhanced version of Klay Thompson around him. He would be the perfect second-in-command and a versatile player. If the Suns didn't trade him, he would have a chance to win the championship in 2006 and 2007, which would definitely be much more reliable than Dior, who only won the fastest-progress player award.

After the timeout, Guo Xu, Xiao S and Joe Johnson returned to the court and quickly stabilized the situation with a 12-5 wave, widening the gap to more than 15 points again.

Sir's pick-and-roll cut put huge pressure on the Kings inside, and Weber dared not let go of him to replace Guo Xu, who could not defend himself by relying on the single point guard. Christie was the main defense, and Guo Xu would pass the ball to Joe Johnson to play singles. The latter had a clear advantage against Jackson, and Damon Jones also had a good organizational ability. He would pass the ball when he saw his teammates cut.

The Suns finally beat the Kings 123 to 100, which was the team's highest score in a single game this season. Center Chakalidis was a spectator throughout the game and did not play for a minute, which was the biggest change for the team.

After Brian Colangelo fired Frank, he was ready to trade Chakalidis for a foreign player, and his departure time had entered the countdown.

Guo Xu played for 37 minutes, made 11 of 18 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, scored 30 points, 2 rebounds, 22 assists and 1 steal, with only 3 turnovers. 22 assists are his personal career single-game record and the league single-game record this season.

Six players in the Suns scored in double digits, Stadameier scored a double-double of 28 points and 10 rebounds, Marion scored 14 points and 10 rebounds, Nene scored 12 points, 5 rebounds and 2 blocks, Joe Johnson scored 15 points, and Jacquesen also scored 10 points.

The Kings performed best was Weber, scoring 27 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks; Bobby Jackson scored 19 points and 4 assists, the Kings' second scoring point, and his shooting was excellent, and neither Guo Xu nor Alstom could defend him.

Forwards Peja and Tekgru both had low shooting percentages by Marion; Christie scored only 6 points and could not beat Joe Johnson; Nene performed well against Divac and Clark.

The commentator commented in the final stage: "The Suns have many highlights on the defensive end, and their defense looks better than before."

Frank Johnson, who watched the live broadcast on TV, was like losing his soul at home. The Suns' defense has improved, and it has made him feel more hit than the offense. Throughout the game, the Suns' players' performance was like constantly slapping him in the face.

As a coach who claims to be "defense first", the defensive system arranged is not as good as D'Antoni sends new players to defend at will. Which team will use such a person?

Frank knew it was completely finished, and he finally realized his lack of ability. He was just a self-righteous waste.

Before, Guo Xu communicated with him again and again, trying to change his ideas, but he did not name him as a useless person, leaving him with enough face.

When the Suns management fired him, he also gave him face, but he didn't know how to be grateful at all. Instead, he expressed his dissatisfaction with interviews with reporters.

If he could restrain himself and leave in shame, the situation would be much better. Now he is self-destructive, and after the game, there will definitely be media plagiarism about his previous dissatisfaction. Compared with the huge changes in the Suns, can people not criticize him?

There is no need to wait for the media to make news. Now a large group of Suns fans posted a post on the Internet to scold Frank. If he didn't leave, the fans wouldn't know that the rookie could be so strong and the Suns' offense could be so strong.

A soldier is a clutch, and he is talking about a person like Frank.

Guo Xu and others returned to the locker room, and everyone was very happy. Before entering the bathroom to take a shower, Guo Xu gathered everyone together, stood on the table in the middle, and said condescendingly: "Now, everyone can see how powerful they are, and know the benefits of fighting against their opponents, right?"

"Yes." The rookies took the lead and shouted.

Guo Xu smiled and said loudly: "After a while, people who perform well will go to the press conference. Everyone should be as high-profile as possible when facing interviews. Note that I am talking about high-profile. Whoever is low-profile, I will be anxious. Our goal is to win the championship, and I believe that it will definitely be done in the future. When the reporter asked a question, everyone would boldly say, "What are the big guys who are bold and brag? I support you if you are willing to criticize Frank Johnson. We want to create big news!"

Everyone laughed. After playing for more than a month of games, they finally made their heads proud today. The Kings beat the Lakers in the playoffs last season, but they beat the Kings 23 points, and their confidence increased suddenly.

After the previous 21 games, the Suns' popularity is very sad. Except for Guo Xu, their teammates are rarely mentioned by the media.

Guo Xu doesn't praise his teammates, because if he praises those teammates who can't play for a few minutes, it's like he clearly satirizing the head coach. Frank is not good at doing this when he is still coaching the Suns, because the head coach has the final say in the arrangement, and Guo Xu can't prove that he is right.

Now, he is ready to go to the press conference to despise Frank. (https:)
